All sorts of gamesmanship from WTS couldn’t prevent thefreekick.com from gaining victory in this tense match played in summer conditions in Sandymount last evening.
With the match clearly assigned to pitch 3, WTS succeeded in having the match moved to pitch 1. They did this by warming up there and no doubt having a word in the ear of the referee. Pitch 1 has goals about half the size as pitch 3. Our protestations to the referee fell on deaf ears.
They then decided to kick us, well Monkey and Clarkey, for much of the match. The all important goal of the game came from Clarkey as rifled home a half volley from just outside the box.
A great hard-working performance with bandage very solid in the nets. Our defence has only conceded 5 in 6 now.
Their fella with the luminous wonder bra was deceptively good i thought. He looked like Mrs. Doubtfire’s nephew but played like an ageing Archie Gemmill.
On a side note we managed to lose another ball. That’s 4 in 3 weeks I think?!?
1.YOU lost the ball. And from a header too, don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone send the ball out of the ground with a header before.
Sign of a title winning team. Twice we have been crap and grind out one goal wins.
3 & 4. I liked their argument that their defenders should be allowed kick us but we should not be allowed kick back, as it then just becomes a free for all. Hard argue with that logic.
Is Ash the Niles Crane lookalike?
Confidence is low at the moment but I’m working hard to turn it around. I’m currently watching DVDs of my goals from 2010/11 season to find what I was doing differently. Also I’m not going to use the excuse that I didn’t play last week as a reason for not scoring.
Rocko’s fault that. Rather than roll the ball across for a tap in, he decided to drill it abdomen high. I was lucky to get anything on it of truth be told.
Yes that’s him. As angry and grumpy an individual as cesc4 but at least cesc4 shakes hands. A horrible individual. And I don’t like Ash much either.
Excuses excuses. It took a while but Fergie eventually realised that Berbatov didn’t add much value with his 4 and 5 goal hauls against the Wigans and Blackburns of this world. I expect it’ll take Rocko a good bit longer with you.
We seem to be regularly losing balls in the terrace behind that goal. If visiting fans don’t want to watch entertaining football then naturally they won’t return the ball. It’s similar to watching the hun supporters vandalising the toilets at Celtic Park last week. Ultimately we’ll be sending WTS a bill for the cost of one football. It’s just an inconvenience but these things happen.
The cross was a dinger by the way. A ball at abdomen height should not be headed over the pre-Hillsborough style fencing that encloses our ground.
Also for the sake of anyone reading in, all the goals in the league are obviously the standard FIFA dimensions. Much like the pitch at the Camp Nou appears to be twice the size of the pitch at Stamford Bridge but it’s a trick of camera-angles and styles of football, so the goals always seem smaller when we’re playing against teams that park the bus. That’s for us to overcome, and we will continue to do so in a thrilling manner.
That Ash chap appealed for a “penalty goal” akin to the penalty try scenario you get in rugby football near the end. He tumbled / dived under a challenge and the ref gave them a freekick around 20 yards out. He ran over to him roaring that he was about to score and demanding the award of a goal. What a tard of an individual. :guns:
